What's most amazing about this video is that this guy (relatively speaking of course) is not that great a driver!
I'd love to see someone like Loeb, Gronholm or McRae doing this! Don't forget, Colin rolled his car at X-Games and, against Block, Pastrana etc, only missed the gold by 0.4 of a second.
Just to be clear, he's still incredible, just not on the same level as the European rally guys.

What he said! Ken Block is co-founder of DC Shoes and clothing - rallying is just a hobby to this guy! Respect though.I'd love to see someone like Loeb, Gronholm or McRae doing this!

He came down to NZ for a round of our national chamionship last year, finished in the top 10 iirc but certainly wasn't on the pace of the quicker NZRC drivers. Though to be fair Alister McRae contested the same round and was around the middle of the top 10, the locals aren't too slow...hostile17 said:
I watched that video and thought of two things:
Me too, and also - that's what a rally car should sound like: WRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!BANG!BANG!RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!, not all this woooooooooooooopopwooooooooooooo rubbish we get these days.- Imagine the WRC contested in cars with that level of tune
- Imagine McRae in that car

The more I watch that video, the more I think modern WRC cars could be reasonably safe with >500BHP.
Modern suspension, steering, transmission, leading to better road-holding, predictability, etc.
The FIA won't let it happen though.
You are correct, they wouldnt, but would be nice to see the wrc with cars like that!!Modern suspension, steering, transmission, leading to better road-holding, predictability, etc.
